| The Seventh Wish by Kate MessnerFiction. It's not every ice-fishing expedition that yields a wish-granting fish, and 12-year-old Charlie isn't going pass up the chance to make some changes in her life. She could use a new Irish dancing dress, for instance, and she'd like Roberto Sullivan to notice her. Yet while Charlie's fish-wishes do come true, the results are often complicated. And when her sister Abby returns from college with a painful problem, Charlie is afraid that wishing won't be enough. Authentic and just a little bit magical, The Seventh Wish is destined to "zing straight to the hearts of readers" (Kirkus Reviews), especially those who enjoyed Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm's Sunny Side Up. |

She wishes for her first kiss. And most of all, she wishes for her mother, who's been missing for years. Like Wendy Mass' Willow Falls series, this trilogy-starter is a warm, realistic story with gentle hints of fantasy. |
